Study shows how thumbs helped shape the brain
A new study out of the U.K. lays out how thumbs helped shape brain development in humans and other primates. Scientists found a link between thumb size and the size of the neocortex which is involved in higher-order brain functions, which they say suggests that thumbs are linked to “thinking and not movement.”
